    SOUNDBITE: (Portuguese) Tite, Brazil Head Coach

    "The (Olympic) legacy is the sense of a team that was very strong. We are in a difficult moment and there is care and understanding from fans - which I felt from the stands when I was watching the game. Fans gave lot of love to the team in the final game. We need this love…"

    SOUNDBITE: (Portuguese) Tite, Brazil Head Coach

    "(Ecuador and Colombia) are two teams that are above us in the standings. Two teams that have been playing together for some time, they have a level of trust in themselves, with quick transitions, a balance between their physical preparedness and technical skills. Colombia specifically has a variation with James (Rodriguez) playing as the key man, at the second line of four players, in a similar position from where he plays at Real Madrid. Sometimes they put him more central, with freedom to play and get forward."
